The Beginning

The Miracle Medallion is a beautiful piece of art with a fascinating history. The history can be traced back to the Chinese Han Dynasty (206 B.C. – 24 A.D.) where the Chinese referred to it as the, magic mirror. These mirrors came in many forms; some were bronze castings of varying diameters; some with bamboo covered handles others without handles. The front side of the mirror was a smooth burnished reflecting surface, while the back was covered with intricate designs and characters. In a bright light (in the early days it was the sun), the smooth side cast an image on a wall. The image seen is the reflection of the design on the backside of the mirror. Since there seemed to be no relationship between the front and back of the mirror, which is separated by the 1/8" thick casting they were called "magic".

After the Han Dynasty, the mirrors continued to be developed by the Japanese in Kyoto Japan, where they are known as the, "Makyoh" – translation: magic mirror. The city of Kyoto, a city of traditional arts with a long history, cultivated the magic mirror. In Kyoto’s artistic development the mirrors were perfected to their highest state as an art form achieved by Sir Ohtyu Yamamoto, a Japanese artisan of national importance.
